THE GROWING POTENTIAL OF THE UEMOA FOOD ECONOMY

T he food sector, which comprises agriculture, food processing, food

marketing and food-away-from-home, is a key pillar of all eight UEMOA economies. In 2020, the sector’s value is estimated at USD  43  billion or 30% of the Union’s GDP. By  2030, the UEMOA food economy is expected to more than double to reach USD 92 billion or 34% of the Union’s GDP. This unprecedented expansion occurs in a context of rapid urban development. To date, 42 million people or 38% of the UEMOA population lives in cities where almost all food is bought on the market. Urban consumers dedicate a greater proportion of their food expenses to perishable and processed foodstuffs. They are more attentive to quality and prefer less time-intensive food preparation. At the same time, increasingly diversified rural economies and the spread of urban products and lifestyles mean that the share of the rural food supply from markets is also growing. Rising domestic demand fosters the development of regional value chains, in which the off-farm segments are growing rapidly. As a result, the share of agriculture within the food economy is gradually declining. The diversification of the off-farm segments opens up new opportunities for

value creation and intra-regional trade within the UEMOA area and the broader region. This context is favourable to agro-food entrepreneurs who reap the benefits of an enormous domestic food market. The job creation potential is tremendous. Some 35 million UEMOA citizens (or 66% of the labour force) currently work in the food economy.

Off-farm segments are particularly important in providing job opportunities for women; as much as 68% of employees in these segments are women. The food economy presents large and untapped employment potential that will continue to grow with population growth, urbanisation and income growth.

LE POTENTIEL CROISSANT DE L’ÉCONOMIE ALIMENTAIRE DE L’UEMOA

Le secteur alimentaire, incluant toutes les activités de la production agricole à la

transformation, la commercialisation ainsi que la restauration hors domicile, est un pilier fondamental de toutes les économies des huit pays membres de l’UEMOA. En 2020, la valeur du secteur est estimée à 43 milliards de dollars US, soit 30 % du PIB régional. D’ici 2030, l’économie alimentaire de l’UEMOA devrait plus que doubler pour atteindre 92 milliards de dollars US, soit 34 % du PIB de l’Union. Cette expansion sans précédent se produit dans un contexte d’urbanisation rapide. À ce jour, 38 % de la population de l’espace UEMOA vit en ville où les marchés fournissent la quasi-totalité de l’approvisionnement alimentaire des ménages. Les consommateurs urbains consacrent une plus grande proportion de leurs dépenses alimentaires aux denrées périssables et transformées. Ils sont plus attentifs à la qualité des aliments et au temps de préparation. Parallèlement, la diversification croissante des économies rurales et la diffusion des produits et modes de vie urbains ont également entraîné l’augmentation de la part des aliments achetés sur les marchés en milieu rural. La hausse de la demande domestique favorise le développement de chaînes de valeur régionales, dans lesquelles les segments non  agricoles se développent rapidement.

La part de l’agriculture dans l’économie alimentaire diminue par conséquent progressivement. Toutes ces transformations ouvrent la voie à de nouvelles opportunités en termes de valeur ajoutée dans les segments non agricoles et de développement du commerce intracommunautaire et au-delà. Ce contexte est favorable aux entrepreneurs agroalimentaires qui capitalisent sur l’énorme marché alimentaire de la région, avec un immense potentiel de création d’emplois.

Valeur estimée du secteur alimentaire par pays membre de l’UEMOA en milliards de dollars US

Quelque 35 millions de citoyens de l’UEMOA (soit 66 % de la population active) travaillent dans l’économie alimentaire. Les activités non agricoles des systèmes alimentaires sont une source importante d’emplois pour les femmes qui occupent 68 % des emplois dans ces activités. L’économie alimentaire présente un potentiel d’emplois important et inexploité qui continuera à croître avec la croissance démographique, l’urbanisation et la croissance des revenus.
